Opposition leader Hamzah Zainudin says that Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin intends to hand over the party presidency to him once he steps down from the post.
“You know, it’s quite well known that the president wants to hand over the baton to me when he is ready,” Hamzah said in an interview with BFM recently.
However, the Larut MP said the question of when this leadership transition will take place was up to Muhyiddin, comparing it to a relay race.
“The question is about transition and that depends on the president, when he actually wants to hand over the baton.
“For me, it depends on him. I’m just waiting. It’s like the 4×100 (relay), maybe I am the second runner and he’s the first. I’m just waiting while he’s still there. Once he passes the baton, then I will take it and run,” he added.
Hamzah was asked if there were any discussions between him and Muhyiddin on taking over the leadership of Bersatu.
